In a single, interconnected production environment, where any device can connect to every other device–and every source is also a destination–live production has limitless possibilities. The future of live production is at NewTek today. Get started with NDI.

"Using the NewTek TriCaster in house here at EMC2 enables us to make a television quality production with a very limited crew." – David Ross, Senior Manager EMC2 TV EMC2, a multinational corporation in the data storage, cloud computing industry...

Restream, a service for high-quality streaming to multiple destinations, and NewTek have teamed up for an integration of technologies that brings easy access to Restream to NewTek production systems via a new Streaming/Record Configuration preset. For Restream users this makes NewTek live production systems a preferred choice for broadcast-quality professional production. For TriCaster®, VMC1 and 3Play® users, Restream is now a prime one-click option for multi-destination streaming.

While NewTek live production systems have native capability for sending a stream to multiple social video platforms, NewTek workflow experts have often noted that producers may wish to preserve system resources for the heavy demands of live production by offloading tasks such as multi-destination streaming. Restream can cover this need with support for over 30 social platforms, including Facebook Live, YouTube Events, YouTube Stream Now, Twitch, UStream, Steam, and more.

This combination offers substantial strength across the spectrum of live streaming. Major broadcasters moving into streaming can do so with NewTek’s high-end production systems, which also maintain their ability to output to broadcast in HD and UHD (4Kp60), and offer input handling capacities beyond many traditional switching systems, even aided by costly routers (VMC1 has 44 inputs, and can be chained). Gaming streamers can engage the entry level, backpack portable version of the TriCaster to move up to multi-camera/multi-source production with the full range of production values of professional television - motion graphics, keying, virtual sets, multi-layered video, and more. And everywhere along the spectrum, a simple selection of Restream from the TriCaster’s menus enables the producer to stream simultaneously to a host of popular destinations.

Restream spoke with NewTek’s Will Waters about the new integration, the rapid growth of live streaming, and tips for content creators looking to begin streaming their content.

“Back in the 90s, it was astounding to see the new ways people could use their products to give voice to their visions. Now, the way videos are created and distributed is constantly changing and growing and still the level of amazement rises.” - Will Waters, NewTek vice president of Customer Success
